    I’m fairly certain that this requires a Ham radio operator’s license (in the USA at least). It uses frequencies that are regulated.

      Licensed amateur radio operator here in the US. Meshtastic does not require an amateur radio license.

      Nope, it specifically uses free frequencies. The same ones that are used by RC hobbyists and RF based remotes

      I don’t actually own a Meshtastic device… but I did blow off work to do a little browsing and found this:

      Meshtastic does not require any license and is open for anyone to use.

      Meshtastic does not require a HAM radio license to operate

      • https://chicagolandmesh.org/guides/getting-started/

      don’t need an amateur radio license for the low-power bands used by Meshtastic
